[QUOTE="MikeRafone, post: 130756108, member: 1482681"] When you walk-on, the HC and the coach who brought you in will tell you what's expected of you. If you meet expectations, you get another year. If you don't work out, they'll see that you land at a school more suited to the level of your talents if you want to continue playing basketball. Basketball is tough due to the limited spots and floor minutes. You've got to make your bones in practice and be well liked to stick. I think AAU ball has done a lot for elite players, but for average and below players it retards their overall game as those teams rarely play defense. When Joe "One and Done" comes down the lane, these less talented kids should be told to clothesline him, he won't be driving again. Freshmen of all levels of talent used to know how to handle elite players coming in, knock the crap out of him. It was the reason you brought in that walk-on the size of a house. Football is easier to get a scholly coming from a walk-on position as there are 22 spots. It's easy for the average fan to determine who's moving up by watching who the scout and special teams champions are. If you see an invited walk-on dominating the scout team awards, keep an eye on him. He won't be a walk-on for long. [/QUOTE]
